Personal speaker evolution

OK, so here is a thread I haven't ever seen here: What speakers have you owned? starting with the earliest, price paid, new/used, and perhaps the models that really impressed you (for the price) in CAPS.

Rat Shack Something or others, $120, new
Fisher Something or others, $280, new
ADS L710's, $550, new
Snell A2i's, $1100, used
BEVERIDGE SYSTEM 3'S, $1000, used
Martin Logan CLS, $1400, used
MARTIN LOGAN SL3'S, $2300, used

Bose 501, for the first 12 years, Infinity RS6 w/EMIT, for the next 25 years to present, which is the speaker for the foreseeable future, because I can't afford the B&Ws I desire.

1968- 72: Built-in speakers on a Concord 555, tube-type, reel-reel, stereo tape recorder. Even as I moved on to better speakers, I kept the tape transport, as it sounded petty good for my needs.

72-78: Bose 501: Big bass, with an East Coast mumble.

78-84: Rectilinear (model# ?) 3-way, 8" woofer. All paper drivers, mid-range has a whizzer cone. I think they're still in the attic.

84-2008 Infinity RS 6: 8" poly woofer, 3" polydome mid, EMIT tweeter. Loved the sound, still do, still have them. Snagged another pair off ebay just yesterday.

2008 - present: Klipsch Cornwall III: I love 'em, wife hates 'em mostly because of the size and I play them too loud.
